Invisible

I listen to their jokes

And I laugh along.

They don’t hear me

I listen to their stories

And smile.

They don’t see me

They listen to music

And I sing along.

They don’t hear me.

But I don’t mind.

I tell a joke and it is met with silence.

I tell a story and it is met with silence.

My heart is heavy

My lips are trembling

My eyes are watering

But they don’t see me.

I am invisible
